Here's a quick way to tell if your clutch plates are slipping. Remove your oil filler cap, stick your nose near the filler hole and take a sniff. The smell of slipping clutch plates is unmistakeable. Smells like a slipping clutch! Or overheated brake pads.
If you have worn clutch plates then there is a reason as to why they've started slipping at 24,000 km. Replacing the plates won't fix the problem. Busa plates don't wear out at such low mileage for no reason. Also, slipping plates don't make a noise like 'chunky tarmac'. That description rings alarm bells to me.
I could offer several reasons as to what has happened to your bike. But without laying my hands on it and going through a process of analysis and diagnosis I'd just be guessing. If you're time poor I'd just trailer it to whoever is going to do the next service and explain to them your symptoms.
Good luck!
